Around Abbotts Barton, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Common questions in Abbotts Barton
How far is Abbotts Barton from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at St Bartholomew's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you park at our house?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Abbotts Barton?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can the van come to Abbotts Barton?
We do. Abbotts Barton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
It’s worth telling the neighbours.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Autumn and winter parties in Abbotts Barton get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
